Discover Bridal Bouquet Preservation Jewelry

By Ida Dorsey


Thousands of years ago, people used fragrant and colorful flowers to make beads to be worn as adornment or strung together to make a necklace or bracelet. During the Middle Ages, the fragrant beads made from rose petals were strung together into a garland of roses, better known as rosaries. Happily, the art of turning flowers into jewelry has not disappeared and is being used now to preserve special events and moments. Bridal bouquet preservation jewelry is the best way to keep the magic of your special day close to you.

This is a project that a person can complete on their own. It is not that difficult and if you are good with crafts, it may be something you want to consider. If you are wanting something made professionally, that can be accomplished also. There are many places that specialize in preserving wedding memorabilia. Ideas for do it yourself options and vendors who will do it for you can be found at Bridal shows and on the internet.

There are other, more traditional forms of creating keepsakes to be displayed. One has been to dry the bouquet and place the petals in clear glass Christmas ornaments that are appreciated once a year. Another popular option has been to have the flowers and other mementos, such as the invitation, and wedding photo, placed in a frame and sealed behind glass. Hung on a wall or placed on a bookshelf or desk, to be admired for many years.

What is attracting more people to this ancient method is the fact that they are able to carry or wear a piece of a very special moment with them at all times. The pieces can be worn while at work, lunch, exercise, or play. The same is true for cuff links, tie clips, and money clips. You can still have the sealed frame or holiday ornament but you can also have something next to you and with you, all the time.

There are two main differences in having the work done by a professional or by yourself. A professional has experience and many use only precious metals in their creations. By doing the work yourself, you will be able to create something of your own design. But which ever method you decide to use, know that the end product is going to be something you will treasure forever.

If you are a do it yourself person, you will not have any problem finding easy to follow instructions. Look in craft stores and on the internet for directions. There may even be classes available in your area.

You can also choose to have a professional fashion your pieces for you. Find one that offers designs you like and is within your budget. If possible view some of their work in person. When you have decided on a vendor, be certain you follow any instructions they may have for shipment of the flowers and leaves. Choose which design and how many pieces you want. Some designers will also work with you to create pieces unique for you.

Your wedding bouquet can last forever. By turning the petals into jewelry, you will have a piece of the special day you and others can wear and enjoy at any time and during any activity. You will have also created an heirloom that can be used when your children, grandchildren, or other relatives have their special day.
